Ed's Story
My story began after graduation of 59. I left Walton and moved to Tucson, Az where I worked for a short time in a restaurant before deciding to join the Air Force, after basic training in San Antonio and more schooling in the Chicago area I was sent to Japan and Korea for the rest of my four year duty tour being discharged at Homestead, Fla and Clovis, NM.. I moved back to Miami, Fla for a time but got some calls from fellow servicemen to come and visit California to see if I would like living there or Florida better, which my choice was to Iived and work in Los Angeles for the next four years before reurning to New York to go to mortuary college under the GI bill in Syracuse, upon graduating and another year of apprenticship I received my Funeral director license from the state of NY.. I returned to Calif. to work for Forest Lawn in the LA area...after working for such a large company I left to pursue other interest....I was able to start a opera...Expand for more
